Lenovo Legion 5i Gen 10 (15IAX10, 83F00012CF) / ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) GU605MI-QR194X

The Intel AI Boost NPU, rated at up to 13 TOPS, is built into the processor.

The NPU runs constant AI tasks such as background blur and noise suppression at low power instead of the CPU/GPU.

115 W TGP is among the higher power limits used for this GPU in laptops; the same RTX 5050 runs at lower power in thinner chassis. The graphics chip is soldered. Lenovo also offers the RTX 5060 and 5070 Laptop GPU in this chassis at 115 W.

Dynamic Boost shifts a 20 W share of power to the GPU when CPU load is low, so 105 W is a conditional ceiling rather than a constant level. In the same series RTX 4060 SKUs are listed at 100 W and RTX 4080/4090 SKUs at 115 W. The GPU is soldered and cannot be upgraded.

DisplayHDR True Black 600 is the VESA tier verifying 600-nit peak brightness and very low black level on OLED panels. The panel is factory colour-calibrated and TÜV-certified for low blue light and flicker-free operation; it is not a touchscreen. The platform sheet does not list G-SYNC for this panel.

G-Sync matches the refresh to the game’s frame rate to reduce tearing. It is not a touchscreen. Some SKUs in the same series use an IPS-level panel.

With one module fitted at the factory, memory runs in single channel; adding a matching module to the free slot enables dual channel. The highest capacity Lenovo has tested is 32 GB.

Because memory cannot be added later, capacity has to be chosen at purchase.

A second SSD can be fitted in the free M.2 slot.

The second M.2 slot allows an additional SSD.

USB-C charging works only through the 10 Gbps port; the Thunderbolt 4 port does not accept power. Up to 3 external displays are supported alongside the built-in panel: HDMI up to 8K 60 Hz, USB-C up to 5K 60 Hz. There is no SD card reader.

Both USB-C ports support external displays and charging; there is no Ethernet port.

ASUS notes that Bluetooth features may vary with the OS and drivers.

Lenovo rates battery life at 4.4 hours in MobileMark 30 and 10.8 hours in local 1080p video playback. Super Rapid Charge goes from 0 to 30% in 10 minutes and to 70% in 30 minutes; the battery must be at least 10 °C while charging.

Which adapter is in the box varies by country and model. Full GPU power should not be expected when charging over USB-C.

This model has no IR camera or fingerprint reader, so Windows Hello biometric sign-in is not supported.

Warranty length varies by country.

The MUX switch connects the display directly to the NVIDIA GPU, removing the overhead of routing through the integrated GPU in games; Advanced Optimus makes this switch automatically without a restart.

Slash Lighting is a programmable LED strip on the lid, controlled through AURA Sync.

Accessories may vary by country.
